It is not enough to say you are in pain, but why your pain is important from your standpoint. Finding an original idea to write a song about is like trying to find a new color. You simply have to settle for a unique shade of one that already exists. It's the framing that will make that color seem unique.

]]> Comment on Lyric Writing – A Simplified Approach by David http://revealaudio.com/blog/?p=62&cpage=1#comment-212 David Thu, 13 May 2010 00:49:51 +0000 http://revealaudio.com/blog/?p=62#comment-212 I was thinking about how to do it. I've been giving talks at NSAI and GMIA meetings here in Atlanta to get the presentation down. Thing is, I can use current examples when I'm presenting to the small groups. If I publish something as a book, there would be copyright issues to deal with and the method would lose some fluidity (the examples would become dated). Really, a video would make the best presentation if I can work around the copyright issues. I guess in the end, Jason has his method that works for him and he shares it. Some people will identify with it and be able to adopt it to good use. I've got mine, and I'm testing it to see if it's really as simple and easy as I think it is. So far, whenever there's been a problem with a song that has come in the studio, I can bring up one point in my method to address it, and the writer can easily see what needs to be changed. FWIW, I think Sheila Davis filled writers' heads with so many rules that it's a wonder anyone could be creative after reading her book. I was thinking about how to do it.

Jason Blume has written a book that NSAI hawks incessantly (every time I get a song evaluated their advice is "buy Jason's book!!" - I guess I MUST need it) But maybe you can explain things in a way that Jason doesn't.

I don't need video unless there's a lot of whiteboard or pretty girls. I’d probably pay $10 for an audio recording of this affair.
